Pharoah vs. Older, what's next . . . ?
So he romped today, Victor nudged him slightly on the far turn to take over the race with 2 or 3 little hand pumps and then sat chilly, hands still, throttled down and coasting to the wire . . . thus he had an easy work out today . . . So there are no 3YO's that can carry his horse shoes let alone run against him. Question is, is there a horse of any quality of any age that can give him a run for his "money" . . . can't think of any . . .
Who is out there . . . anybody, I doubt it!!!

My guess is they'd prefer one more race before the BC, not 2. I don't know that there is a suitable one on the calendar midway between now and the BC. If not, somebody will write him one, or enhance a pre-existing race (like the Mass Cap did for Cigar, etc.)

Zayat has certainly said all the right things regarding the horse and the fans. Well the fans want to see him run in the Travers, lets see if he puts his money where is mouth is now.

Is there any way he can become the all-time money earner?

OK, last time . . . it's not about the money. The connections have more money than Fort Knox . . . it's about prestige, history and more than anything taking the right path for the horse and the fans.
Forget about the purses and money. That said, Travers and BC Classic get ready.

Travers!
Bloodhorse | Zayat: American Pharoah to Run in Travers
ETA: Ugh. The headline is misleading. No commitment to Travers as yet.

I heard that Del Mar is talking about the possibility of delaying the Pacific Classic for a week if AP will run. That would give him 4 weeks instead of 3. I don't know if that would make the connections of AP reconsider, but I guess Del Mar thinks it's worth a try.
